No Promises in the Wind by Irene Hunt

3.0

Josh and Joey are brothers during the depression. They leave home to try and find success on their own. I was struck by the parallels of the recession that we are having now compared to what was going on during the depression. Throughout the book it focuses on the good in people while also showing the meanness of people in desparate situations. An eye opening book for anyone who reads it. While I prefer Steinbeck's writings on the depression more, this is a great read for students and adults. I feel very grateful indeed for having a roof over my head and food to eat when I am hungry.
